Propel Airport Digital Transformation
Digital transformation in the transportation industry has advanced rapidly through innovations such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data. Indeed, with their use now widespread, the aviation industry is quickly digitalizing. As it does so, it's shifting focus from speed to quality.
But such transformation poses several challenges for airports. Airport operational efficiency is often unable to cope with growing passenger traffic, for example, while passengers increasingly expect an ultra-personalized experience. Elsewhere, new airport security challenges are always emerging.
To improve passenger satisfaction and airport operational efficiency, Huawei's Smart Airport Solution uses a dedicated digital platform to integrate state-of-the-art technologies — including AI, IoT, video cloud, big data, and an Integrated Communications Platform (ICP) — focusing on three key areas of airport operations: efficiency, security, and experience. By building two scenario-specific solutions — One ID for Airport Travel and One Map for Airport Operations — the Smart Airport Solution streamlines passenger and flight flows, greatly improving the passenger travel experience as well as overall airport operational efficiency, security, and the passenger experience.
